UGS has been bought and sold a number of times over the years and they're still around today.
In my opinion, we've felt greater impact from the I-DEAS acquisition than we ever have from the sale of UGS in the past.

Some people are like slinkies....they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

That being said, based on what we've heard so far, I think that all of you can relax, and that includes BOTH you, our customers, AND the employees of the two companies, but not our competitors, of course

What's the chance of General Motors ever switching systems?
I know it would be hell with data in one system and another. But I am just curious as to where NX will be in the Automotive sector, in the future as I know nothing would happen now, but in 5-10 years maybe?
As a lot of the Automotive Manufacturers plan to switch to V5, it looks like General Motors is the only one left in NX. Unless I am hearing things different.
Just a thought.

Ford was on Ideas, but has not embraced the migration to NX.
Actually the companies prefer to be on different CAD packages. It makes it harder for designers to jump ship.

As for your first question, are you familiar with the term "Fat Chance"?
But in all seriousness, please do NOT believe everything that IBM and/or Dassault might like you to think. When you look around the world at all of the companies involved in one fashion or another with the automotive industry, from the various tiered suppliers up through the OEM's, we have a fair share of the business. Besides, there is more in our playbook than just CAD. If you look at the footpint that UGS has in the Automative segment with not only NX, but also such products as Teamcenter and Technomatics, it doesn't look at all that it's being dominated by IBM/Dassault.
If you'd like to learn a little more about what UGS is doing in the Automotive space there are several items here that may be of interest: http://www.ugs.com/industries/automotive/
